(#SMSociety15)

The Social Media & Society Conference (#SMSociety15) is an annual 
gathering of leading social media researchers from around the world. 
Now, in its 6th year, the 2015 Conference will be held in Toronto, 
Canada from July 27 to 29, 2015.



The 2015 Social Media & Society Conference (#SMSociety15) invites 
scholarly and original submissions that build on the previous work and 
critically evaluate the role of social media for social and political 
change, community engagement, marketing, new forms of governance, 
support of individuals and organizations in domains such as business, 
information, management, public administration, academia, health, and 
journalism (just to mention a few). We are also calling for submissions 
that develop and apply novel methods and theories to collect, analyze, 
and visualize social media data as well as those that discuss ethical 
and privacy implications of using big and small data.


We welcome both quantitative and qualitative work in the broad area of 
Social Media & Society that crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and 
expands our understanding of the current and future trends in social media.
